It's just suddenly started happening to me on mobile data and WiFi, honestly don't know how this has started to happen over the last hour. Any advice on what to do to attempt to resolve the problem?
Never mind, I've resolved the problem. Just un-followed the forum then added it again, I will have to test mobile data when I get off the 7 though.
Snooty queue police.

Not in the NE of course.
Not had a fun trip to Newcastle.

Had a bit of a rant with some old woman. Was waiting for the GNE X21 in the bus shelter outside Wilko's on Newgate Street, she suddenly just started making a noise to suggest excuse me for no reason whatsoever, I figured she may have wanted the X21 which was coming up the road, nope! So I flagged it down and the bus stopped with it's doors just beyond the bus shelter but she wouldn't move so me and the other passenger wishing to board the X21 had to loop round the bus shelter to get onto the bus. So why the hell did you feel the need to suggest excuse me for no reason?!

The above came after an earlier incident where I was stood on the edge of a footpath and someone on a bike and his mate wanted me to move, sorry but could you not be arsed to go round me?!
Is it only p*ssing down with rain in Northumberland? Just drove 30 Miles to around 4 miles outside Rothbury to get u photo of the X14 and all of the photos are blurry with the rain.

What a disaster

No, was the same story with me and Weardale's Irizar on the X21 in Newcastle, was annoying enough that I just missed it at the MetroCentre on its first trip to Newcastle this morning.
Still sunny in Sunderland! Fingers crossed it stays like this for another hour. Half way through washing the car!

Heavy storms in co Durham. Husband said the girl next door hung her washing out then went out before it started.

You young'uns need to start using weather apps and things like the netweather storm tracker. Saves a lot of wet bras and blurry photos Wink

Tried the same location 2 hours later, and got what I want. Photo will be on Flickr shortly.

I have a weather app that comes as standard on my IPhone6, And it seems to be extremely accurate too.
Though it was the Arriva Bus Tracker that came in handy most today!

Wish I could do that! I have to get the bus/train everywhere for a photo. Did once convince my sister to drive into Blackpool Town Centre for a photo of the Catch22Bus Red Rocket service X70 to Manchester https://flic.kr/p/BJBcpc. The weather that weekend was awful, was windy and there was flooding in places.

Yes there indeed was, 7481 expired at the turn off from the A697 and had the engineering team looking at it.
Crew was brought by 7416 and then ( 7416 ) was driven NIS to Morpeth to cover for 7481s absence, 7481 was then driven back to Ashington.

Never really had issue of the Rain causing blurry photos for me.

Great Shot South Tyne Lad. Hopefully heading up to Northumberland myself on Wednesday.

If your there on Wednesday, You could get a photo of Spirit Buses new Wednesday only Route 406 from Alnwick to Swarland which I don't think there's any photos of yet. Probably be a nice route too.
Ah never realised they had a new route, I be near Alnwick, but Rothbury is a bit out the way for where I'm heading. But cheers for the heads up.
